Blutt 1.20 with Astra blade for today. I also have the 0.99 plate. But after using the 1.20, the 0.99 doesn’t see any daylight again. The 1.2 is pretty efficient yet so smooth. Not a bit of irritation at all after shave.

Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.

It's like the blues, the best stuff comes from dead guys.

It's a much better performer than I remembered. I should use it more often. 
I think I somehow confuse the Rocket with my Black-handled SuperSpeed, which can be rough. 
The British-made Gillettes seem to be made to tighter tolerances than their U.S. equivalents. Things like the butterfly doors being less floppy when half-opened make me think that.

I think it's a gorgeous razor with simple lines, and a good balance of efficiency versus mildness.
My favourite part is that "rocker" curved profile of the bottom of the base plate.
Johnny, an under appreciated shaver. That combo of DE89 + ASTRA is one of the best combos for me.
